[We worship our exalted Lord]
They worshipped Him, and returned, &c.
—xxiv. 52, 53.
We worship our exalted Lord,
By all the heavenly hosts adored,
Jesus, our sacrifice receive,
And King of saints for ever live.
By all the heavenly hosts adored,
Jesus, our sacrifice receive,
And King of saints for ever live.

Thou dost from Thy disciples part,
To make us one with Thee in heart,
Thou art, O God, gone up on high,
To draw us after to the sky.
To make us one with Thee in heart,
Thou art, O God, gone up on high,
To draw us after to the sky.
Our Captain and triumphant Head
Hath took possession in our stead,
Hath open'd and prepared our way
To mansions of eternal day.
Hath took possession in our stead,
Hath open'd and prepared our way
To mansions of eternal day.
Till Thou return to fetch Thy bride,
We at Jerusalem abide,
And life's important hour employ
In hymns of praise and solemn joy:
We at Jerusalem abide,
And life's important hour employ
In hymns of praise and solemn joy:
On Thee we in Thy temple wait
(The house of God, the heavenly gate)
In all the means Thy grace enjoin'd
The presence of Thy Spirit find.
(The house of God, the heavenly gate)
In all the means Thy grace enjoin'd
The presence of Thy Spirit find.
With that acclaiming choir above
We glorify the God of love,
Extol the wonders of Thy grace,
And only live to pray and praise.
We glorify the God of love,
Extol the wonders of Thy grace,
And only live to pray and praise.
